Civic engagement should be effortless
GovPal was built on a simple observation: people care about what's happening in the world. They read the news. They have opinions. But the gap between caring and doing something about it is too wide.
Our Mission
We believe democracy works better when more people participate. But participation shouldn't require hours of research, expert writing skills, or navigating confusing government systems.
GovPal removes the friction. When you read something that matters, you can do something about it — in under two minutes, without leaving your browser.
Why We Built This
The tools for civic engagement haven't kept up with how people actually consume information. We read news constantly — on phones, tablets, laptops — but acting on what we read feels like a completely separate task.
GovPal bridges that gap. We're building technology that meets people where they already are, doing what they're already doing.
Our Values
Non-Partisan
We serve everyone, regardless of political affiliation. Democracy needs participation from all perspectives.
Privacy-First
Your civic participation is personal. We never sell your data or share it with third parties.
